Multi-hop Cluster based Routing Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks
Abstract
A novel approach for prolonging the lifetime of a
wireless sensor network using clustering routing protocol while
maintaining desired quality of service attributes related to sensed data delivery is presented. This paper proposes a Multi-hop Cluster based Routing Protocol for long range transmission in wireless sensor network. The protocol consists of two parts, one is with respect to cluster management in sensor area and the other is about the data
transmission between base station and the sensor area. The new clustering and routing algorithm’s scale well and converge fast for large scale dynamic sensors as shown by our extensive results using the Network Simulator (NS2). It is a flexible tool for network engineers to vestigate how various protocols perform with different Configurations and topologies. Simulation results shows that the proposed protocol offers a better performance than single-hop clustering routing protocols in terms of network lifetime and energy
consumption when the base station is located far away from the sensing area.
